I am finishing up my mendelmax, and I am wondering what the opinions are on endstop placement. The plans I am using call for min on z and y, but max on x. It would seem to me that min would be better for all 3 x,y and z home, but I would like to get some opinions on this. My z steppers are bottom mount steppers if that matters.

Thanks! Very interesting.

Just so I am crystal clear, Min would mean the side of the motor correct?]]> AVRkire Mechanics Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:37:20 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,193626,193640#msg-193640 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,193626,193640#msg-193640 Nophead has always used MIN for X and Y but MAX for Z.
